Wilder said: "He's (Midson) had an opportunity and he has definitely taken it. He's a great lad and he wants to be here and so we'll let him get on with it. His attitude has been first class, he wants to play for the football club, which is great."

Wilder added: "It's a great result for the football club, I don't think we have ever been disappointed with the character of the team. Consistency has always been the big thing for us and we now need to be consistent. The good teams are the ones that do it week in and week out."
